User manual NAD C340

[. . . ] Warning: To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. The lightning flash with an arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle, is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. the exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the product. Do not place this unit on an unstable cart, stand or tripod, bracket or table. [. . . ] Using twin RCA-to-RCA leads, connect to the left and right `Audio Output' of the tape machine to the TAPE 2 IN sockets for playback and tape monitoring. In normal use these should be connected to the Main-In sockets (No. To connect your NAD C340 to external processor or amplifier sections first remove these links. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect to the left and right `Audio Input' of the Power amp or processor to the Pre Out sockets. NOTE: The Pre-Out output signal will be affected by the NAD C340's volume and tone control settings, always turn the amplifier off before connecting or disconnecting anything from to Pre-Out and Main-In sockets. In normal use these should be connected to the Pre-Out sockets (No. To connect your NAD C340 to external processor or pre-amplifier first remove these links. Use a twin RCA-to-RCA lead to connect to the left and right `Audio Output' of the pre-amp or processor to the Main-In sockets. NOTE: Always turn the amplifier off before connecting or disconnecting anything from to Pre-Out and Main-In sockets. SOFT CLIPPING When an amplifier is driven beyond its specified power output, a hard, distorted sound can be heard on very loud sounds. This is caused by the amplifier cutting off or `hard clipping' the peaks of sound that it was not designed to reproduce. the NAD Soft Clipping circuit gently limits the output of the system to minimise audible distortion if the amplifier is overdriven. If your listening involves moderate power levels you may leave the Soft Clipping switch to Off. If you are likely to play at high levels, that could stretch the amplifier's power capability, then switch Soft Clip On. The Soft Clipping LED on the front panel will illuminate when the amplifier is in Soft Clip mode. Connect the right speaker to the terminals market `R +' and `R-' ensuring that the `R+' is connected to the `+' terminal on your loudspeaker and the `R-' is connected to the loudspeaker's `-' terminal. connect the terminals marked `L+' and `L-' to the left speaker in the same way. 5mm , or thicker) stranded wire to connect loudspeakers to your NAD C340. The high-current binding post terminals can be used as a screw terminal for cables terminating in spade or pin sockets or for cables with bare wire ends. BARE WIRES AND PIN CONNECTORS Bare wires and pin sockets should be inserted into the hole in the shaft of the terminal. Unscrew the speaker terminal's plastic bushing until the hole in the screw shaft is revealed. Insert the pin or bare cable end into the hole and secure the cable by tightening down the terminal's bushing. [. . . ] NOTE: The remote control handset supplied with the C340 is of a universal NAD type, designed to operate several NAD models. Some buttons on this handset are inoperative as the functions aren't supported by the C340. The Stand-by (large green button) function, Video 2 and Video 3 input selector, and Speakers A and Speakers B buttons on the remote control handset are inoperative in the case of the C340. There are a few differences and extra functions with the remote control handset however: TUNER AM, TUNER FM Selects the Tuner input on the NAD C340 and respectively the AM or FM waveband on a separate remote controllable NAD Tuner.
